Question

Calculate the trade discount for 3030 boxes of computer paper if the unit price is ​$14.9314.93 and a single trade discount rate of 4545​% is allowed.

Answer 1

Total trade discount on 30 boxes = $201.555

Explanation:

1 box = $14.93

And a trade discount of 45% is allowed on a single box,

Therefore, the discount on one $14.93 box will be

45% × $14.93 = $6.7185

So, if there are now 30 boxes, the trade discount on all 30 boxes will be

30 × (trade discount on one box) = 30 × ($6.7185) = $201.555

Hope this helps!
